I'm using turbotax online premium and have a K-1 that lists Michigan State income taxes paid by a flow-through entity, and Michigan State refund from a flow-through entity.  There is no place to enter these for 2025.  I'm pretty sure this was available in 2024.  If I look at the "Deduction for Taxes Smart Worksheet" it has a line called "Share of Michigan income tax paid by flow-through entities (Not supported)".  There is a similar "(Not supported)" line in the "State and Local Tax Refunds Smart Worksheet".  Will there be an update soon to support these?  Is there any other way I can fill these values in?

According to the IRS instructions for Form 8962, the form is not required if you did not receive an Advanced Premium Tax Credit and you are not claiming a premium tax credit on your tax return, even if you had Marketplace coverage. ‌    Form 8962 is required to reconcile any advance payments or to claim the premium tax credit.   The IRS instructions state the following:  You must file Form 8962 with your income tax return if any of the following apply to you: You are taking the Premium Tax Credit The Advance Premium Tax Credit was paid for you or another individual in your tax family. The Advance Premium Tax Credit was paid for an individual you told the Marketplace would be in your tax family and neither you nor anyone else included that individual in a tax family.    The instructions go on to say that If any of the circumstances above apply to you, you must file an income tax return and attach Form 8962 even if you are not otherwise required to file.    In general, you must include your Form 8962 with your Form 1040 to reconcile premium tax credits if you had Marketplace coverage, but you do not attach Form 1095-A. You would use the information from your Form 1095-A to fill out Form 8962, and then keep the 1095-A for your records.     Click here for Instructions for Form 8962 (2025).  
Hi Rene, I did those steps but when reviewing my form before filing my Form 5329 Part IV Additional Tax on Excess Contributions to Roth IRAs on line 25 still lists the penalty.

If you submitted your return using the website and got confirmation it was accepted, then you can be confident in that result. If you also have the app open, for the same account and same returns, it could be that it is operating at a slower speed than your other device or application.   After you e-file your return, it's considered "pending". After the IRS processes your return, it'll either be accepted or rejected.   Once you submit your return in TurboTax Online, you'll see its status on the Tax Home screen of your account. We'll also send you emails letting you know when your e-file status changes.   See this help article for more information.

UPDATE: Thank you Turbotax for fixing the software to include explanation of my missed RMD & your calculations.  I was able to file electronically and my tax due, did not include the penalty. I was able to give a five line explanation for my late RMD, save it & have it appear in my filing. Though, I was thankful that I had decided to use the desktop version & follow the other instructions given. Thank you community! -------------------- Turbotax, will you please fix this soon!?! I have wasted most of my Sunday trying to make your software work the way it should! It sounds like you are telling me I need to mail in my return.  I have a 1099-R for 1 distribution & one that wasn't completed (no 1099-R)

The 1040 does remove the amount from the 1099-R. Intuit needs to fix the breakdown of income in the "Why do I owe $X" overview in Federal review. My "Why do I owe $X" overview is showing the 1099-R amount as included (which should not be included, and is correctly excluded on the 1040).   But I now see another error where the "Other income from Schedule 1" in "Why do I owe $X" doesn't match the 1040 Line 8 amount (Additional Income from Schedule 1 Line 10).   I think that mismatch on 1040 Line 8/Schedule 1, Line 10 is an issue related to not receiving all the prompts to offset money drawn from a 529 plan. I can't figure out why the "Why do I owe $X" overview is giving a correct answer and the 1040 Line 8 is wrong. I suspect it has something to do with my inability to get to a prompt that asked for qualified expenses that are not paid to the university and not on the 1098-T. Any tips on how to force a prompt to enter eduction expenses not included in a 1098-T?

over contributed IRA in 2024, withdrew excess contribution, received 1099-R, need to amend 2024. I did the amend, added the document, transmission says successful, but then quickly changes to "Your transmission didn't go through. Any suggestions on how to file return. Currently using the "do it yourself" online version, at this point willing to upgrade to assisted filing, but can't figure that out either... This software is really frustrating.
That would not be TurboTax you are remembering.  Connecting to your bank account and being able to categorize expenses is something you can do in QuickBooks, but not TurboTax.  
A fix is in the works but updates have been scarce.

Needed to know my exact income from last year on line. I looked at it showed $0 because I was working for myself so I had a 1099 not a W2 so it was going to be automatically declined if I went further. I just want my $53 back from TurboTax.

Yes, it will be apparent that a 2024 8606 that is signed by you and mailed to the IRS is a form that you'd like added to your record.     If you'd prefer, you certainly can add a letter.  You could include a brief cover letter with your mailing to help the IRS process your form. Your letter should clearly state your full name, current address, and Social Security number at the top. Explain that you are sending a standalone Form 8606 for the 2024 tax year to report IRA contributions that were left off your original return.    Since you are writing the letter, you could also request they waive the $50 late penalty. To avoid the penalty, you should explain in your own words that you didn’t realize a separate form was necessary because your tax total stayed the same, but you are proactively fixing the error now to ensure your future retirement records are correct. It is important to specifically use the phrase "reasonable cause" in your explanation to let the IRS know you made an honest mistake in good faith and are requesting they waive the $50 fee.
